Following the GameStop Corp Class A (GME US) saga that has been all over the financial press (and is now spreading into the mainstream press), we have been getting questions on names in Hong Kong that could be prone to a squeeze.We do not believe that retail players in Hong Kong have the heft that retail investors in the US do, nor are single stock options frequently used (though there is a lot of retail activity in warrants on large cap names), but the pain that is being felt in global portfolios could lead to unwinding in Hong Kong shorts too.Some highly shorted stocks in Hong Kong that have seen prices jump today along with volume surge are Ping An Healthcare and Technology Company Limited (1833 HK), Hang Seng Bank (11 HK), Vitasoy Intl Holdings (345 HK), China Literature (772 HK), Bank of East Asia (23 HK), MTR Corp (66 HK), Want Want (151 HK), Samsonite (1910 HK) and Wharf Real Estate Investment (1997 HK).We identify more stocks that could be prone to short covering based on short interest as a percentage of issued shares, free float and in terms of days of ADV to cover.

Wilmar International (WIL SP) continues to outperform Ppb Group (PEP MK) after the Yihai Kerry Arawana Holdings Co Ltd (300999 CH) spin-off; LG Corp (003550 KS) is cheap, and there are catalysts in the pipeline apart from the recently announced demerger; and China Motor (2204 TT) is trading cheap to Yulon Motor Company (2201 TT), which in turn is trading rich to Yulon Finance Corp (9941 TT).
